After Baarìa Giuseppe Tornatore continues
his reconnaissance of his own identity, opening with The
Best Offer, a new phase. The documentary, relying on the
early super-8 footage by the Sicilian director, images from
his films and the words of those who have worked with
him over the years (Tim Roth, Sergio Castellitto, Monica
Bellucci, Ksenya Rappoport, Ennio Morricone), posits itself
as interstitial between two films, bearing witness to the
“continuous renascence” of an author who puts himself
on the line in a constant expressive regeneration process.
Most significant of all is a lengthy interview with Giuseppe
Tornatore who talks about himself as a man and as an
artist..
